Although it's not intuitive for a colorblind person realize that she/he must start a magnifier to apply a colorblind filter there are cases where visually impariments that are more suitable for a magnifier overlap with colorblind, so gnome-mag, if is not the most important place, is a piece of software that must have this support. Sometime ago, I was talking with Daniel Ruoso about this and he give a good suggestion, that was to develop an applet where a user can select only a filter and this applet will start the magnifier with 1x, so it will behave to the user as a colorblind filter only, not a magnifier. Also, some colorblind users talked that they don't want the filter running all the time, so a keystroke must be defined to enable/disable it when the user think that he/she is not distinguishing colors. I will try to provide an implementation for this until the end of the mounth and I also created a bugzilla reference to track this: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422347 Best regards, Carlos. > > > http://people.debian.org/~ruoso/ > > > > If you want to download the package directly just > > access: > > > > http://people.debian.org/~ruoso/colorblind-0.0.1.tar.gz > > This doesn't strike me as the most stable download location.
